MCCC released its Midsize Initiative: Building Growth Beyond Small. The initiative recommends three initial steps to address the challenges midsize companies face with respect to federal contracting. As small companies become larger and more successful, many contracts are out of reach because businesses with more than $38.5 million in revenue must compete with the largest businesses with over $500 million in revenue.

According to the Bloomberg Government study, “The Mid-Tier Paradox: Too Small To Compete, Too Large to Survive,” despite some mid-tier successes and seemingly strong performance data, evidence is emerging that certain government acquisition practices may lead mid-size company growth to slow or stall, causing the observed drop in average revenues.
